The central place of migrations in the reproduction of advanced societies

Abstract International migration occupies a central place in the reproduction of advanced societies. As a demographic component, they contribute to cover the population gaps left by ageing and declining birth rates, and thus, support the demographic reproduction of the population. On the other hand, as a labor force contribute to cover deficits labor and sustaining capital accumulation and reproduction of the economy. As workers, they preferentially insert themselves into tasks of the daily reproduction of the middle and upper classes, contributing to sustain their lifestyles and patterns of consumption in a globalized world.

摘要 国际移民在发达社会的人口再生产进程中占据核心地位。作为人口构成要素，国际移民填补了人口老龄化与出生率下滑所造成的人口缺口，进而支撑了人口的再生产。另一方面，作为劳动力群体，国际移民填补了劳动力短缺缺口，助力资本积累与经济再生产。作为劳动者，国际移民优先投身于服务中上层阶级日常再生产的工作，助力维系全球化背景下中上层阶级的生活方式与消费模式。
